It is possible that she is chattering from pain. However, it is also possible that if it really is constant that it could be a seizure activity, or myoclonus activity from a distemper infection. I would encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Continue to treat the ear until you are able to be seen again. I’m sorry Jojo has been through so much. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
